Typing Instructor Platinum 21
The New & Exciting Way to Improve Your Typing!
Learn to Type or Improve Your Typing Skills--Guaranteed!
Typing Instructor Platinum is a highly innovative and powerful program designed to teach young children, teens, and adults to type, and to help typists strengthen and improve their keyboarding skills. Typists may choose from the twenty educational typing plans, tailored for both keyboard and numeric keys and symbols, with or without games--there is even a kids typing plan! In addition, typists can create their own personal lesson plans.
Exciting Travel Adventures Make Learning to Type Fun!
Typing Instructor Platinum takes typists out of the traditional classroom setting, on a thematic adventure, where they learn to type on a world travel trip, a photo safari, or a time travel trip. Typists begin their trip from the Travel Port, where they travel through several time zones around the world. Lessons, tests, and game challenges motivate typists to improve their typing skills so they can advance in the program, visit unique and exciting places, win game challenges, post high game scores, and collect stamp rewards for their travel passports.
Multi-Play, Multi-Level Games Set a New Standard in Entertainment!
The program's games are not only challenging and fun, but are designed to teach specific typing skills, such as speed, accuracy, rhythm, dexterity, and retention. The program boasts the first narrative adventure typing game, Treasures of the Sunken City.
